Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Now, it should be unstoppable, right?”

Seeing Zhang Daohe’s determined actions, the onlookers were all thoughtful, secretly thinking that at this moment Yun Xiao was charging towards Yu Kuzhan of Thunder Sound Mountain. It was impossible for him to spare any effort to kill Zhang Daohe, right?

Witnessing this scene, the elder Ge Wanli from Demons Mountain moved slightly, wanting to step forward to stop the Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace. In his view, even if he wasn’t a match for Zhang Daohe, he should be able to hold him off for a few breaths.

Ge Wanli believed that with Yun Xiao’s strength, it wouldn’t take too much time to deal with Yu Kuzhan. By then, Zhang Daohe would also find it impossible to escape, even if he had wings.

As an elder of Demons Mountain, Ge Wanli knew he had deeply offended Zhang Daohe this time. Once that old fellow recovered, he would likely become a major threat, and with his strength, he was no match for the Wuyan Palace’s Sixth Elder.

To hold the position of an elder in a first-class force, one must be decisive in killing, and Ge Wanli was no exception. Given such a good opportunity, how could he possibly let it slip away?

Swish!

Yet just as Ge Wanli’s figure made a move, intending to pursue Zhang Daohe, the sound of something breaking through the air suddenly came from somewhere. When the crowd turned their heads to look, they immediately saw a dark light sweeping through the air, heading towards Zhang Daohe.

”It’s the Dragon Sword!”

Though the name might sound awkward, at this moment, everyone recognized that dark light. It was the invincible Dragon Sword of Yun Xiao, and the target of this sword was precisely Zhang Daohe trying to make his escape.

However, seeing the Dragon Taming Flying Sword soaring through the air, many people shook their heads. They knew in their hearts that if Yun Xiao were to fight Zhang Daohe head-on, the Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace would likely be doomed.

But merely relying on an out-of-hand Dragon Taming Flying Sword to injure a Wuyan Palace elder of the Late Stage of the Earth Bending Realm seemed too far-fetched. Surely Zhang Daohe couldn’t fail to even dodge this flying sword attack, could he?

It’s undeniable that although this Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace was focused on escaping, he still kept his eyes and ears sharp. Sensing the sound of something tearing through the air from behind, he caught a glimpse of the Dragon Sword’s body with the corner of his eye and immediately sidestepped to avoid it.

Swish!

The Dragon Taming Flying Sword moved with extreme speed, gliding past Zhang Daohe as he sidestepped, then flew far out, eventually disappearing from everyone’s line of sight.

”Trying to harm me with such petty tricks? Ridiculous!”

Zhang Daohe, having dodged the Dragon Taming Flying Sword, completely failed to notice the seal movements of the rough-clad youth in the distance. Seeing that Yun Xiao wasn’t coming after him, he couldn’t help but regain a strong sense of confidence.

After all, Wuyan Palace isn’t just comprised of Late Stage Earth Bending experts like Zhang Daohe and Leng Buyan. Above them are several elders at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm, and even Heavenly Rank experts like Fu Lingxue and Wu Zhukong exist.

Zhang Daohe believed that if he could escape with his life this time, he could certainly return to take revenge for today’s humiliation in the future. How could a mere young boy compare to the enormous entity that is Wuyan Palace?

Yet, at this moment, Zhang Daohe seemed to have forgotten that behind the rough-clad youth also stood a colossal entity. The Meridian Refining Master Association holds an exceptionally special position, and in terms of influence, it likely far surpasses Wuyan Palace.

Moreover, Yun Xiao healed Xue Ningxiang’s Innate Pulse Cutting, earning a huge favor from Xuanyin Hall, one of the four major forces. On this point, Yun Xiao’s background might be even stronger.

Of course, all of this depended on Zhang Daohe being able to escape alive. At this moment, whether it was Zhang Daohe himself or the onlooking cultivators, they all believed his escape was without incident, as long as Yun Xiao wished to first eliminate the Demon Subduing Arhat of Thunder Sound Mountain.

Perhaps only Luo Fusheng, the genius of Demons Mountain who had once witnessed some of Yun Xiao’s skills, was pondering something in his heart. He stared dumbfounded at the direction where the Dragon Sword had flown far away, and who knows what he was really thinking?

”Yun Xiao, just you wait!”

Already dozens of feet away, Zhang Daohe realized that the rough-clad youth could no longer catch up with him, finally uttering a harsh line.

But the next moment, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end, a sense of imminent lethal danger descending upon him.

Yet around Zhang Daohe, front or back, there was nothing, and the youth named Yun Xiao was even a hundred feet away. So why did he have such a feeling? Zhang Daohe couldn’t make sense of it no matter how he thought.

However, Zhang Daohe had always been confident in his intuition. Upon sensing this deadly danger, he instinctively wanted to dodge, for he knew that if he remained where he was, his old life would truly be in peril.

Only, Zhang Daohe’s instinct, while extremely accurate, and his reaction speed, while fast, ultimately couldn’t outpace certain premeditated attacks.

Just as his figure was about to move, a fatal aura already pierced through his throat, bringing up a startling spray of blood.

From a distance, one could see the Wuyan Palace’s Sixth Elder suddenly halt his actions. Blood sprayed from his neck, as if dragged into the shape of a sword in the air, leaving many pondering.

”Just as expected!”

Perhaps only Luo Fusheng, the genius from Demons Mountain who had seen certain special techniques of the Dragon Taming Sword, knows what exactly happened at this moment.

This invisible, traceless flying sword attack is simply impossible to defend against, especially when displayed in front of outsiders who are unaware of the internal situation.

”Dragon Taming Flying Concealment!”

At this moment, the technique Yun Xiao used was naturally the Meridian Technique of the Dragon Taming Nine Swords he acquired from Treasure Mountain. He never thought that the ordinary flying sword just now would really harm Zhang Daohe; its purpose was merely to numb this Sixth Elder of Wuyan Palace.

When Zhang Daohe thought he’d evaded the Dragon Taming Flying Sword and believed that Yun Xiao could no longer catch up to him under any circumstances, in his most complacent moment, Yun Xiao summoned the Dragon Taming Flying Concealment, concealing the Dragon Taming Sword within the air to assassinate him directly.

This causal relationship was only vaguely guessed by Luo Fusheng and Xiao Ming, but to the onlookers, it was utterly terrifying and completely unknown to them how it all happened.

Even if they guessed it was Yun Xiao’s technique, such a method was too strong and bizarre, beyond their understanding.

Especially for Zhang Daohe, who was the person involved. He tried hard to turn his neck to see what had pierced through his throat, but in the end, he couldn’t do it.

Bang!

The corpse of Wuyan Palace’s Sixth Elder fell helplessly to the ground, like a heavy hammer hitting the chests of everyone, leaving them in shock for a long time.

And at this moment, Yun Xiao didn’t even glance at Zhang Daohe, instead directly turning his gaze to the Demon Suppressing Arhat from Thunder Sound Mountain not far away.

Though this sounds lengthy, it actually happened in just a few breaths. In the blink of an eye, the events made Yu Kuzhan’s heart sink to the bottom.

”Yun Xiao, benefactor, please...”

Of the four late-stage Earth Bending Realm strong men, three were already gone. Even though Yu Kuzhan was ruthless by nature, he was still extremely concerned about preserving his life. However, he barely uttered a few words before a violent force interrupted him.

”Golden Body Cover!”

At this moment, seeing Yun Xiao’s right leg about to strike him like it did to Leng Buyan before, Yu Kuzhan’s face drastically changed, as a faint golden glow enveloped his entire body, mixed with a hint of blood aura.

Compared to the day under Yanji Lake when Zong Puti used his Golden Body Cover, Yu Kuzhan seemed more at ease at this moment. This Protective Divine Power was even stronger on the Demon Suppressing Arhat, with its defensive power multiplied several times.

This was Yu Kuzhan’s last resort against Yun Xiao. He believed that, under this kick, he couldn’t withstand it no matter what. The best result might be the same fate as Leng Buyan.

Of course, Yu Kuzhan was also very confident in his unrivaled Protective Divine Power. As soon as he summoned the Golden Body Cover, Yun Xiao’s right leg arrived as expected.

Clang!

Only a loud bell sound was heard, and all the onlookers could clearly see the golden light shield surrounding Yu Kuzhan tremble violently, swaying left and right.

”Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein Power, Activate!”

Not satisfied with failing to break Yu Kuzhan’s Golden Body Cover in one strike, Yun Xiao heard his voice deepen, then the Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein Power in his right leg was frantically unleashed.

At this time, the Earth Attribute Ancestor Veins were no longer in the same state as when they were in Hidden Dragon Continent. As Yun Xiao’s Meridian Qi cultivation improved, its potential power was also increasing day by day.

For example, at this moment, when Yun Xiao fully activated his Earth Attribute Ancestor Vein Power, the strength of his right leg had reached an extreme, seemingly about to explode.

”Not good!”

Sensing the furious leg coming fiercely from a close distance, Yu Kuzhan’s face wrapped in golden light instantly changed. Though startled inside, he could only take this strike first.

Clang!

Another clear bell sound echoed, and this time the Golden Body Cover shook even more violently. In the next moment, those with keen eyes already saw thin cracks spreading on the golden light shield.

”Is this...physical strength breaking the Golden Body Cover?”

Everyone gasped, utterly unaware of why this happened. To know that it was Thunder Sound Mountain’s Protective Divine Power, the Golden Body Cover, how could physical strength break it? This completely overturned their understanding of the Golden Body Cover.

If it were some vein demons two realms stronger than Yu Kuzhan, they might not be so shocked at the Golden Body Cover being broken, as vein demons possess much stronger physical strength compared to human cultivators of the same level.
